Crew
Crew Information
Captain: Travis Townsley
Captain Travis has been known to say he likes Fast Cars and Slow Boats… Born in Georgia, but raised in Texas, Travis spent the early part of his career working on race car teams (and racing whenever he got a chance). He has worked on everything from Vintage Can Am cars, Formula Fords, Toyota Atlantic, F2000, World Challenge, and Nascar Super Trucks. Life in the fast lane certainly was a good time, but there was something about the calmness, and challenges, of sailing that caught his attention. He eventually hung up the tools and helmet, and bought himself a Hobie Cat and learned to sail. He also started and grew a family business with his Father and 3 siblings, manufacturing product that was supplied to the Land Yacht industry (motorhomes). Raising two kids kept him on land but once they became adults themselves, he knew that a life on the ocean was where he wanted to be. While the kids were home, he started them off on a Sunfish and then went through owning progressively larger monohulls. Once the kids graduated and moved on to college, he and his wife bought a 47’ monohull which they lived aboard for over a year before deciding to change their path in life and purchase RumAway, a 53’ luxury catamaran so that they could share their passion with others. He still enjoys driving a Fast Car now and then, but Slow Boats (sailboats), and life in the warm, blue waters of the Caribbean, are what brings him joy. He looks forward to sharing that joy with you on RumAway.
Tara has always had a love of the water. You could say it’s in her blood; she was born on a boat (technically she was born at the hospital, but came “home” to a boat). After spending her first few years on a boat in Santa Cruz Harbor, California, her parents decided keeping Tara out of the water and on the boat was more than they could handle; so they sold the boat and bought a Land Yacht (motorhome). The next few years were spent living on the road, seeing the sights. (If you can’t tell, her parents were borderline gypsies, so it’s no surprise that Tara would one day be drawn back to life on the sea). Tara moved around quite a bit before settling in Texas. Corporate America was Tara’s career path where she has worked for several major corporations that sent her travelling all over the world implementing various systems. Tara has always been passionate about cooking, and it’s no surprise that her first job was in the food industry. She got sidetracked with other positions in Corporate America before going back into the food industry for the last 10 years of her career. To say again that Tara is passionate about cooking is an understatement. Tara finds great joy in preparing tasty meals for others to enjoy. She looks forward to sharing with you her creations in the galley.
Tara and Travis were MFEO (made for each other). After raising two children of her own, it was in Texas where she met Travis. Travis had a 30’ monohulled on a local lake, and it wasn’t long before Tara was back on the water, where her life started. Travis and Tara were the perfect match; Travis had a dream (to live on a sailboat) and Tara had a plan (how to make it become reality). After surviving (actually thriving) raising 4 teenagers with their new blended family, Tara and Travis set their sights on the prize; to live on a boat. They have been “captain and crew” for many groups bareboating in the islands, and the one common thing that everyone said is “Y’all are so good at showing us a good time and taking care of every last detail, you should do this for a living”. Well 5 boats, ASA certifications, and USCG Captain’s school later, here they are ready to share their love of sailing the islands with you on RumAway.

You accommodated all our interests and food requests which made it fully relaxing, but also lively and fund with good cocktails, Carib beers, dice games, and dock walks. It was the perfect balance.
I think everyone's favorite memory will be feeding and cannonballing the tarpons at night.
Truly a vacation of a lifetime!
Love and good luck to you both!

Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy the experience on your amazing yacht. From the food, to the excursions, to the attention to every need our family had, it was a once in a lifetime event. We especially appreciate your assistance in accommodating Chris's disability. We know Chris was not easy for you and it was much appreciated. We will definitely recommend the Rumaway to family and friends. You always have a place to stay in Condado if you are ever this way.
Chris, Carla, Renay & Shane

Half a page of this book isn't nearly enough space to describe all the wonderful, magical experiences we've had this week! We loved learning more about the ocean and all of the islands and living on a boat. The food has been amazingly good and we loved watching you guys work as a team to make this such a perfect week for us! Thank you!!
Until next time-

Your demonstration of leadership has been incredible. Your authentic care and concern for our needs and desires were evident each and every day. Thank you for sharing my 60th birthday celebration with us. More importantly, thank you for sharing your life journey and the wonderful legacy of the Rumaway with us.
God Bless,
Tara
Wow! What a week we've had - celebrating Larry's 60th, being together as a family and R&R. This has been such a great experience on the most beautiful waters we've ever seen. The meals were delicious and plentiful. Your service to us was so appreciated - pillows behind my back, floats waiting in the water, tent on the beach; your constant care and concern for our health, safety and enjoyment didn't go unnoticed! Thank you for sharing paradise with us!
Blessings,
Larry & Melanie

Words cannot adequately describe our gratitude for the outstanding Rumaway experience and the precious friendship we found in the two of you. Captain Trav, the jack-of-all-trades, up-for-anything, tireless captain and Tara, chef extraordinaire who accommodated our allergies and diets in every meal, you are two special people. Thank you for sharing your love of the Virgin Islands with us. Until our next sail, we wish you many blessings!
Love,
Dawson, Lisa, Jeff, Sarah, Matt & Maddie
Thank you so much for a great and magical vacation thru the USVI. We loved the boat and can't stop talking about the food! You were so hospitable and granted our every request. The girls really appreciated all the toys and activities. We are so blessed for our time with you and your lovely boat!
Thanks again,
Lloyd, Jamie, Masan, Lang & Wit
We loved our trip with Travis and Tara. It was our first catamaran charter and we had high expectations going into the vacation. It lived up to and even exceed all of them.
How would you describe your Captain and crew? Were they Courteous? Helpful? Friendly? Attentive? Knowledgeable?
We can’t say enough about the crew. That was probably our biggest fear going into the trip. Could we get along with strangers for 6 nights. They quickly put that fear to rest from the first minute we met. They were engaging and excellent at making us feel right at home (on their home). They were great with our kids too. They shared interesting facts about the islands and the boat. And all with a smile on their faces.
Tell me about your meals? Did the menus meet your expectations? Did your Chef and Crew pay close attention to your Preference Sheets?
Tara is a great chef and the food was delicious and varied. She catered to both adults and the kids. The menu was exactly what we discussed and they had provisioned the boat with all our preferences we shared in advance. She made great daily cocktails at sunset which was really cool and fun.
How is the yacht? Is she clean and well-maintained? Were your cabins comfortable? Were the outdoor spaces adequate for lounging? Was there enough shade?
We loved the boat. It was clean and well-maintained. The cabins were comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. We liked the front lounging areas and they had plenty of comfy seating options. The back swim platform was great too. There was plenty of sun and plenty of shade depending on what you wanted.
What did you like most about the yacht? What did you like the least? What would have made you more comfortable or satisfied?
The boat had ample room for all of us both below deck and above. One of the cool things about Rumaway was all the toys they have on board. We used them all. Kayaks, paddleboards (including one stable and big enough for all 5 of us that was the envy of others all stops), a floating dock, water beanbags, cool rocking chairs and hammocks, a tube and sub-wing for the dinghy to pull. There wasn’t much we didn’t like. Perhaps a flybridge would have been nice, but we knew the boat didn’t have this going into the trip so it wasn’t a big deal for us.
How did you find the pace and the itinerary of your vacation?
The pace was great as Travis and Tara gave us plenty of options. They were active when we were active and gave us breaks when we wanted to relax. They never said no to any of our requests. The itinerary was a little of everything which is exactly what we wanted on our first charter experience. A trip to town for shopping, quiet secluded coves, great beaches and snorkeling, hiking, a cool party with live music at Christmas Cove.
Would you charter this yacht again? If not, please explain:
Yes, we can’t think of much that could have been better! We would highly recommend Rumaway and Travis and Tara.
